Reading fluency and phonics skills are foundational for young children, particularly those aged 6-9, as these formative years are crucial in developing lifelong literacy. Reading fluency refers to the ability to read text accurately, quickly, and with proper expression. It is essential because it supports comprehension; if a child reads fluently, they can focus on understanding the story rather than struggling with word recognition.

Phonics instruction, on the other hand, teaches the relationships between letters and sounds, enabling children to decode new words they encounter. It equips students with the tools to read unfamiliar text by sounding out words systematically. When kids grasp phonics, they become more confident and independent readers, fostering an early love for reading.

Parents and teachers should be concerned with ensuring children achieve reading fluency and phonics proficiency because these skills are precursors to academic success across all subjects. Solid reading skills enhance vocabulary, comprehension, and a child's ability to learn and absorb new information, which are critical for other areas of their education. Investing in these foundational skills through engaging and research-based methods helps prevent future learning difficulties, supporting a child's overall intellectual and emotional development. This focus not only enhances academic performance but also sets children up for greater success in their personal and professional lives.
